Advocacy & Government Relations

Local, provincial, and federal policies provide critical frameworks for human services in Ontario. To be effective, services have to be responsive to the needs of people in their communities. Therefore, OMSSA advocates on behalf of our members to ensure that processes and policies reflect municipal service manager human services expertise.

We do this by:

Working proactively to ensure our members have the information and supports they need to inform local policy processes.

Working collaboratively with our partners to ensure that provincial and federal policies affecting human services are informed by local service manager knowledge and expertise.
